Gekitotsu! Satsujin ken (The Street Fighter, 1974)
"But don't worry, Mutaguchi, there's an evil code of conduct - and I'm very tight-lipped."

US importers were looking for a new Bruce Lee after#the star's untimely death‚ and this was the film they decided would revitalise the genre; dubbed and cut it was a smash hit (and became the#first film to earn an X rating in the US for violence alone). it's easy to see why; this is thrilling stuff even if Chiba's amoral#mercenary is a world away from Lee's dignified everyman (in the first act he literally sells a woman as a sex slave; you'd never have#caught one of Lee's characters doing that). the action is spectacular and grotesque‚ including a cut to x ray for a man's shattering skull#(the origin of those fatality screens in fighting games). it also leant it's name to the Street Fighter game series in an unofficial#capacity. lurid and nasty but a lot of fun and by god Chiba was a hell of a performer: where Lee was all about speed and control‚ Chiba is#like a wild animal‚ running up people's bodies and fucking them up while he snarls and pants. an acquired taste perhaps but i dig it#and it's not just action! Chiba brings real pathos to scenes of loss in the last act‚ and his murky motivations make for intriguing viewing

Dragon Princess (Kohira Yutaka, 1976)
Whatever happened to karate? It seemed like it was all that was available when i was a kid and now looking at martial arts options for my kid it's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, some face-pounding MMA or bust. And what happened to it as a film genre? It looks so stylish and graceful in a fight scene. So does Shihomi Etsuko. Here's a potboiler movie to showcase her talents

Gyakushû! Satsujin ken (The Streetfighter's Last Revenge, 1974)
"Who the hell are you?"
"I make the impossible possible. Takuma Tsurugi. Remember that, if you want to live long."
#Gyakushû! Satsujin ken#The Streetfighter's Last Revenge#street fightin' cinema#japanese cinema#1974#sonny chiba#shigehiro ozawa#kôji takada#masahiro shimura#shin'ichi chiba#reiko ike#kôji wada#akira shioji#tatsuo endô#etsuko shihomi#yutaka nakamura#eizô kitamura#fuyuki murakami#masaharu arikawa#isao takanami#toshiaki tsushima#the og trilogy wraps up in as insane a way as I might have expected. we're in full spy film territory now‚ as Chiba's antihero#has suddenly developed the ability to use lifelike masks to disguise himself as just about anyone‚ and has a secret compartment in his base#full of weapons and gadgets and stuff. he's still breaking bones and smashing skulls tho so im happy; the moment that amazing theme kicks#in and he grins his crooked grin you know you're in safe hands. the plot is even busier and nonsensical than ever‚ with betrayals upon#double crosses upon backstabbings; but hey it all looks pretty cool and Chiba is always mighty compelling. Shihomi is a welcome presence#but i do wish her character had been a little more fleshed out (she'd be starring in her own series of spinoffs next).#not quite as impressive as the previous two films‚ with a lot of time spent on a back and forth attempt to take possession of an#incriminating cassette tape; but it is fun‚ and I'll miss this guy and his athletic brutalism.
